You claimed that the long term decrease was due to manipulated stats, then saw no issue using those same stats to point out an increase in the last 3 years. You were dismissing stats when they didn't suit your argument and using the same ones when they did.
I don't know why crime rates have increased the past 5 years. Nor do I know why they decreased steadily. As far as I'm aware nobody knows for sure.
My original point was pointing out that mass killings don't follow the same trend as regular crime (and therefore, decreasing morality is probably not to blame).
